The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 15 fires within 5 miles of Wittens between 1992 and 2019, burning about 14 acres in total. None started naturally. 1 was recorded as arson. Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Lodi
• Fly
• Centerview (historical)

Museums hold 171 specimens collected within 10 miles of Wittens between 1860 and 1975: 145 Animalia, 15 Plantae, 10 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Albert Hazen Wright, Albert Wright, Archer, W. A. and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.

Every working recorded in Monroe County

The eight closest, with where each one stands in the county. Distances are straight-line, computed from the Geographic Names Information System coordinates.

Matched on this settlement's Geographic Names Information System number rather than its name, so it cannot be a different place of the same name in another state.

This settlement is recorded in the Geographic Names Information System as feature 1077218.
